HOW Curriculum Update

For those of you who asked me to share my thoughts on the HOW Unit Study I won in January, I love it!! If you do not know what HOW is about, you may want to read this first.

It all began when I won this unit study via an e-book: After reading through the unit study I still had questions but felt SOOOO drawn to try this. I ordered the Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach manual (you can see in the picture below that I've already begun reading it- it arrived Monday!!) I also ordered The Three R's - great book if you are home schooling preschoolers through 3rd grade! The 3 R's has already made me rethink my teaching approach with HC. I've only read the first few chapters, this is an easy read.

I ordered 'My ABC Bible Verses' by Susan Hunt - I am beyond thrilled with this book (it was not a curriculum suggestion). The ABC book has great devotions for every letter of the alphabet, each with a scripture focus. The story reinforces scripture in a way kids can understand. HC and JB now know more about how "a soft answer turns away wrath!" I love the discovery phase of learning we are in right now!
Last week the Who's Who in the Bible book arrived and I went to our local christian bookstore to buy the Day by Day Bible. These two books are recommended for our unit study.
Finally, the last book arrived Wednesday!!! I ordered the books suggested by the curriculum as most useful to the study. I can't wait to look at how a lesson incorporates these books. I am beyond thrilled and can't wait to get started (this is all for this coming August - how will I manage to wait??). I believe the curriculum is adjustable to my K-5 student!
My next goal is to order the Creation Unit Study because it has a science focus and I know HC and JB will LOVE that!! I am so excited for next year to begin! If you are interested in more information about the HOW curriculum, I recommend you visit this link: Heart of Wisdom. It is clear to me that God has given Robin a curriculum that is worth taking a look at if you are still seeking a direction for your family!! I believe her book, The Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach, is a worthy read even if you are content with your curriculum. I find it to be very encouraging, well worth the money spent!!
